Match Facts
This will be the first meeting between FCSB and Rigas FS, and the first time the home side have faced a Latvian opponent in European competition.
Rigas FS will be just the second Latvian side to play in the UEFA Europa League, after FK Ventspils in the competition’s inaugural campaign of 2009-10 (D3 L3).
FCSB are winless in seven matches in major European competition (D2 L5), since a 1-0 win over Lazio in February 2018 in the UEFA Europa League.
Rigas FS will appear in a major European campaign for just the second time, after the 2022-23 UEFA Conference League. They failed to win any of their six games that season (D2 L4).
Vlad Chiriches’ last appearance for FSCB in the UEFA Europa League was back in the 2012-13 campaign. He was directly involved in four goals that season (three goals, one assist); the joint-most of any player for the Romanian side (also four by Raul Andrei Rusescu).
